38th Anniversary of the "Longest day" when the 71 Dolphins beat the Chiefs 27-24 in a game that lasted over 82 minutes. Ed Podolak of the Chiefs set a record for most All Purpose yards in a game with 350 and the game ended when Garo Yepremian kicked a 37 yard field goal. Last ever game at KC Municipal Stadium, and the Dolphins went on to lose the Superbowl to Dallas but went on to go undefeated the next season.

Other Christmas day NFL games

The NFL has played a few in the last decade here, todays is the first since 2006. Good chance we'll have Christmas day games each of the next 2 seasons. Next year on Saturday probably a feature game, and than the following year they'll likely have the regular Sunday games on Saturday, and a feature game on Sunday. 2012 is a leap year so Christmas will be on Tuesday, and I don't think they'll do a Christmas Eve Monday night game.
